Integration Center schedules connect to the TechWolf SFTP server with either a username and password, or a username and SSH key. This guide covers the SSH key option: SAP SuccessFactors generates the key pair in the Security Center, you share the public key with TechWolf, and the Integration Center schedules authenticate with it. The private key never leaves SAP SuccessFactors.

Generate the key

Click Add at the top left of the key list and fill in the form:
  • Name: a recognisable name, e.g. TechWolf SFTP Key
  • Category: Authentication Key (SSH)
  • Key Size: 4096 bits
  • Valid From and Valid Until: optional. When set, the schedules stop working after the Valid Until date, so set a reminder to rotate the key before it expires.
Click Generate and Save.

Download the public key

Share the public key with TechWolf

Send the .pub file to your TechWolf representative. TechWolf registers the key on the SFTP server and sends back the SFTP user name linked to it.

Use the key in the Integration Center

When loading the export or import integration definitions, fill in the Destination Settings (exports) or Source Settings (imports) page as follows:
  • Authentication Type: Certificate based Authentication
  • SFTP User Name: the user name TechWolf sent back
  • Authentication Key: the key generated above, e.g. TechWolf SFTP Key. The dropdown only lists keys present in the Security Center.
